AMERICAN Archaeology.


The Governments Purchase the Prehistorio
Mounds of Ohio.
Special o the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept 24-The government has
actively undertaken a work that is of the utmost
interest and consequence to every American
who is interested in American archaeology and
history. This is the purchase of the most ex-
tensve. noted and valuable of the ancient
mounds, earthworks and Notifications found on
this continent These mounds located in
Ross, Highland and Adams counties. Ohio, and
the best preserved ancient works to be found
east of the Rocky Mountains. OF their peculiar
character they the most extensive in the
world. The government is being spurred to
greater activity in its desire to control and pre-
serve these splendid old works of unknown ORR
gin by two causes. One is. that in many cases the
mounds. earth and stone-works. and forsfca-
tions of various designs. are suffering sadly by
reason of the cultivation of the country in which
they are situated. Many important mounds
have been plowed down, and many Of the walls
enclosing ancient towns have been almost leveled
to the ground. in whole or in part. In some in
stances, the natural wear and tear of rain and
storm of frost. and snow and ice, and many thaws
has done an irreparable amount of mischief
The work OF preservation can not longer be de-
1ayed by the government. The second reason
for energetic action is rivalry in this work be-
tween the scientists of the Peabody Museum.
the Smithsonian Institution and the United
States Geological Survey Not long ago the
Peabody Museum acquired the famous Serpent
Mound. one of the best preserved of all Of Ohio's
ancient works. The museum authorities con-
template the establishment Of permanent
pa rk in which this specimen of ancient
works will be preserved. Government agents
are now scattered throughout Ohio making sur
veys Of the most important ancient works which
are purchasable and collecting such notes and
estimates. charts and maps will be available
not only in determining the character and cost
of the work necessary to be done to inclose and
preserve the works. but which will also be avail
able for use in the elaborate report the govern
ment now has under way relative to the ancient
mounds and earthworks Of America. Professor
Wright has been making valuable surveys in
behalf of the United States Geological Survey.
This is the first visit of a scientific corps OF the
government to these works. Professor Wright
said that they the largest of the kind in the
world, and were noted both in the scientific
circles of Europe and in this country.

He has been argued with aud written to by
very in huential journalists. who point out that
reliable writer's and gentlemen can be depended

misrepresent the incidents of his journey,
while if the field is left open there will be good
deal of bushwhacking and competitive inven-

forward accounts. These arguments appear to
have no effect Indeed. the President has
plainly expressed his annoyance at the impor-

proposes to travel on special train consisting
of sleeper dining-room and one baggage

about thirty miles an hour.

THE CHOLERA AT NEW YORK.

Caring for tho Alesias Passengers-AmProper
Precautions to Stamp out the Disease.
NEW YORK, Sept. PA. Terkuile, general
agent of the Favri line, said this morning that
he had given orders last night for three days
provisions to be sent to Hoffman and Swinburne
islands, where the passengers of tho Alesia,
which brought cholera to this country. are being
kept. Mr.. Terkuile was of the opinion that the
passengers would have to be quarantined for
eight days, and that after that time there
mead be fear of further infection. Mr..
Terkuile places great confidence in the ability
of DR.. Smith and the quarantine officials to
prevent this spread of the sceurge. He said that
the passengers baggage would have to be very
thoroughly fumigated, as considerable danger
would have TO be feared from that source.
